Аннотация:The article presents the results of the study of humorous texts (anecdotes). At a preliminary stage 53 participants (teenagers and middle age people) with the help of semantic differential scales estimated 4 diverse humorous texts. The participants’ estimates were checked with the factor analysis (main components method with a further Varimax-rotation). Seven-factor structure of the semantic space was acquired. The first three factors determine the essential characteristics of an anecdote as a psycho-social event: factor I – “cognitive complexity factor” which combines scales referred mainly to the sense construction of an anecdote, intellectual efforts, required for its comprehension. Factor II – “wit factor” which determines “anecdote force” or an intensity of the humor experience. This factor includes a “good-bad” scale. Factor III is a “newness factor”. These three factors create 3 dimensions of the psycho semantic space of humorous texts. In two experiments presented here a connection between these three factors was established. It has been shown that the rupture of a joke cognitive structure ends up in problems of figuring out of comic senses (reduction of percent of correct recognition and increase of decision-making time of whether the text is funny). It has been shown that an identification of humor in the conditions of the interrupted presentation is influenced by a level of development of the academic and social intelligence, and also by a number of personal traits. It has been established that the wit estimation of jokes as a whole is not influenced by their repeatability. Moreover, people with high personal anxiety level estimate jokes as more funny at their repeated presentation.
